Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .... Knicks on Prime Time Saturday facing the Boston Celtics .
No OG Anunoby.
NO KP
Boston's big edge are they have a better offense/defense strategic coaching-staff than the Knicks
First point scored by as slashing Tatum Dunk
 
12-2 Celtics run to start the game.
Celtics block 4 Knicks player shots in 5 minutes
7.2 Luke Kornet vs no Knicks center?
 
End of First Quarter .. Knicks 19 - Celtics 30
The Celtics scored the majority of their points inside the paint.
Knicks played 51 games without a Center ???
 
NO Knicks Defense in the first half of the game, we cant defend anything 56-39 Celtics lead
3 min remain in 2nd quarter
 
Brunson's iso slashing putting up points, but not enough to catchup
Celtics got another block, that's 5 in the first half .. 15 pt lead .. 1 min left in half
 
Half Time .. Knicks 48 - Celtics 61

Brunson shot 11-11 from FT line for 18 pts, and 1 Dime.
The Knicks shot real bad 33% FG, 38% from 3's, plus the Celtics Defense stop Knicks from scoring inside.
Hukporti played 3 minutes, and Hart played 20 minutes. Red Flag on coach.
Knicks played 8 players in their rotation vs Celtics 9 player rotation (without KP & Holiday)
We Knicks have to do a miracle 360 turn around in our 2nd half performance in MSG for a Knicks win.
 
Get Hart out the Game! Hart can't compete against Boston Celtics guards/forwards!
KAT need Hukporti or Precious in the lineup for defense help.
Brunson pullin out all his iso scoring move to help us knock the lead from double-digits.
68-60 Celtics on KAT dunk .. 9 min remain in 3rd qtr.
 
Knicks doing their best at coming back, BUTT the Celtics 7.0 Center Queta is blocking every thing we throw up
89-70 .. 2 min remain in 3rd qtr.
 
The Celtics bench center Queta may not be a scorer, as a defensive stopper he's a BIG 10 plus
Jason Tatum scored 35 pts in 3 quarters.
 
End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 76 - Celtics 96

Knicks team rebounds 23, Blocks 1
Celtics team rebound 37, Blocks 8
Josh Hart should be coming off the bench .....
 
110-88 Celtics lead .. 7 min remain in Game
Hart just scored 2 pts for the Celtics .. Take him out the Game!
 
The Celtics outscored us from Tip-off to Buzzer, and in each of the 4 quarters.
The Celtics BIG edge this game was having a much better offense/defense strategic coaching-staff than the Knicks.
